I Want Out of Here... to the Mountains


Right now, I would prefer to be in the mountains.  The mountains are just so peaceful and calm and away from everything else, for the most part.  Though, when I am thinking about the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.  My family and I have been there three times and I just love it.  The cabins are amazing and last time we were there, almost two years ago, I got the room on the third floor.  All the third floor had was a full bathroom, a bed, tv, and coolest of all- the highest level deck.  I enjoyed shunning myself on the third floor, it was quite grand.  So, where would I prefer to be?  Having a grand ol' time in the Smokey Mountains, just like it was for me two years ago.

Bug Out

If I were an insect... ew!  I cannot stand bugs.  They are disgusting little creatures that happen to exist in the world.  If I was any type of insect, I would be an ant.  Ants are insects that seem to mind their own business.  They are lucky that they can easily hide.  They have awesome little sand hills as homes.  Of course, people ruin all their hard work and smash the ant hills sometimes, but they are awesome nonetheless.  Perhaps I am really thinking of the movie Bugs Life when thinking about ants.  In the movie, they have awesome underground tunnels... that is cool.

Final Exam

   After graduation from high school, a tool that we have learned to use in class that I would most likely be able to use after class is Google Drive. Google Drive is a collaborative Web 2.0 tool that allows people to store and share files. It has features similar to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and Powerpoint- all free with Google and Gmail. I would be able to use it if I was in a study group in college and we shared our notes through Google Drive so we could all share information.  It could even be used with any future job to write a report or I can simply have documents stored in Drive rather than carrying around a flashdrive.
 
   A tool I believe I will never use again is Podcasts.  I rarely watch or listen to podcasts because most are audio only.  I can not imagine myself just sitting there and listening to people talk.  Sure, the radio has talk shows, but podcasting is more boring.  Nor will I ever make a podcast after this class, because I have no need to.   I would rather blog about something.

Vacation Time



Christmas Break.  A whole lot of time to do just about anything.  There was nothing too exciting that I did, but I enjoyed the relaxation.  The Saturday after break began, on the 20th, I had my 18th birthday.  I had friends over that Friday night for my birthday and we went to see The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies.  I was literally the only one who was sad that it was the end.  No more Lord of the Rings and no more Hobbit.  My friends were sort of like, "oh, that was the best Hobbit of all.  Well, guess there are no more".  Then there was me, "what do I do now?  There will be no more new Lord of the Rings movies at all.  The end, I am sad".  When we got to my house, we all just talked, played Trivia Crack, and watched Netflix.  On my birthday, I wanted to go to Jackson for shopping and Olive Garden, so we did.  I got money and gift cards, nail polish, and a Muse shirt that was ordered from the U.K. 
Christmas, oh Christmas.  I woke up at six in the morning so we could open up gifts (at home at my mom's), have breakfast, chill out, then head to my dad's at noon.  It has always been that way.  
I got so many fun things for Christmas. I got money and gift cards, a Central Michigan University hoodie (that's where I am going to college), two Muse shirts, a Muse cd, Muse buttons, a coffee maker for college, some movies, clothes, and other things. 
As for New Years resolutions, I am not making any. I never do them anyways, so I will save myself the hassle of making them for no reason.
